Gent welcome LNZ Cherkasy to the Planet Group Arena for the return leg of their Conference League second qualifying round tie, with everything still to play for after a goalless draw in Ukraine. As Gent are a more experienced side than LNZ Cherkasy, we predict a 2-0 home win. Despite failing to find the net in the first meeting, the Belgian side created the better chances and looked the more dangerous outfit throughout. Gent have endured a difficult run of results recently, but they remain a real force to be reckoned with on home soil and possess far greater European experience than their opponents. Summer signing Josue Vergara is expected to keep his place in the starting XI as the hosts look to turn their dominance into goals. Backed by a passionate home crowd, Gent should adopt an attacking approach from the first whistle.
LNZ Cherkasy, meanwhile, deserve credit for keeping a clean sheet in the first leg, but they will need to offer much more in attack if they are to pull off an upset in Belgium. The Ukrainian side have built their recent success on defensive solidity, keeping six clean sheets in their last ten matches, although they have also struggled going forward, averaging just 0.9 goals per game during that spell. Coach Roman Hryhorchuk could freshen up his attack by handing Artur Mykytyshyn a starting berth after his substitute appearance in the opening encounter. Even so, facing an experienced Gent side away from home is likely to prove a step too far.
As Gent have turned their Planet Group Arena into a real fortress, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win. Additionally, Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals markets seem appealing (LNZ Cherkasy are defensively organised, while the first leg produced few clear-cut chances).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 30 July 2026 at 19:30.
